Unique, Solo Log Cabin In Private Woodland With Views To Sea And Local Hills

We were so pleased to find this lovely cabin on VRBO. We've never stayed anywhere like it. It is tucked away in pretty woodland with great views from big windows towards the sea and local mountain (Ben Bhraggie). We walked and cycled for miles along beautiful local trails, visited gorgeous beaches and played golf on the wonderful course at Goslpie. My (grown up) son also spent a few good hours reliving his childhood on the tree swing in the cabin garden! In the evenings we cosied up in front of the big open fire in the living room with books and played cards and chess for the first time in years. The cabin is really warm, comfortable and cosy. On our arrival it was clean, well presented and a welcome basket of fresh bread/milk/eggs had been left for us on the dining table - a nice touch! All in all a wonderful place for some proper rest and relaxation after days filled with fresh air and exercise... We will definitely be returning soon!

Avoid this cabin if you have any sort of allergy/sensitivity to damp/mould etc. We do. Partner couldn't sleep in double bedroom, could all smell damp especially in there. Daughter said was ok, slept in there - was ill by the time we left, miraculously better as soon as we were home. Also if you have any allergy/sensitivity to being treated like an idiot. Apparently it is 'luxury accommodation' I should have gone for if I didn't enjoy stained bedding. Dog hair encrusted washing machines. Grubby cushions. Dirty cutlery and kitchenware. Broken heaters. No coal in bunker. Not enough mugs and what was there stained/chipped. Hoover full to bursting. Balcony messy when arrived, broken lighter and soggy dog poo bag. I didn't mind most of the issues, if it was only a few things I wouldn't have minded, we were expecting basic and simple, but by the end it was getting ridiculous. Was trying our best to just enjoy our break. Was the dirty bedding at the end and being ill and damp smell that topped it off. Owner helpful and apologetic at first. Then didn't respond for weeks when he said he would after going to check out the property. Said had issues before with cleanliness as can't keep on top of it living so far away. We tried to be nice and helpful about it all at first but after being ignored, got annoyed, got hugely patronising response completely discounting our concerns and the many issues we had. I don't appreciate spending almost £700 to stay in a place that is grubby and damp. Apparently I should be grateful for the experience. Not as secluded as hoped, not overlooked, but to be clear there are neighbours just through the trees. Also, when you take out the rubbish the house across the road from you has very aggressive dogs barking at you behind a very flimsy fence. Bit intimidating for the children. Be aware of many ticks also. Only sofas enough for 4 people round fire. I understand lots of people don't notice damp/smells the same. Unfortunately having lived and worked in damp buildings my partner and I, and our eldest are now very sensitive to these unhealthy environments. My partner especially can tell the moment he walks into a place - gets itchy eyes and throat. Avoid. People happy to take your money but don't want to make amends when things go wrong. Don't think you should ever have to spend this long reporting problems that should not have been there in the first place, this for a supposed relaxing break. Disgusting attitude.

We loved location and cosines of log cabin. It place have very homely feeling, noting to exclusive but everything you need

Great cabin in the woods with a open fire for those cold evenings, lovely area with great views through the woods. Also Mark Scott, very helpful at resolving any issues we had. Would happily stay again.

The lodge was clean and well equipped in a beautiful setting. Our children loved exploring and the local beaches. Was a lovely place to completely relax. Check out times were changed and different from what the app stated so just check that.

Lovely relaxing holiday nestled in the woods, so quiet and peaceful. Beautiful walks all around and lovely coastal beaches.

Although the property was clean I'm not convinced it was deep cleaned. We went to use the dining table chairs a few hours after we arrived and there was food/crumbs under the chair cushions. These chairs hadn't been cleaned at all. Windows look tired and had hand prints on them. On the whole a great base and location is fantastic, just needs a bit of TLC in my opinion but we did have a great stay.

The cabin suited our needs well and was clean and ready for our arrival. Lovely surrounding garden and woods for the children to have freedom near at hand and good location for exploring surrounding area.

Nice and easy check in, the property has a lovely homely feel to it and we love the familial aspect of it! We did a few of the recommended walks such as down to dunrobin castle and back and the burns fall with our 4&7 year old boys. The boys loved bird watching, chatting to the local farmer and feeding his chickens and pigs and exploring the beaches. Just note not a lot of restaurants etc local if you are looking to dine out regularly.

in a beautiful, peaceful woodland with fantastic scenery and outstanding views of the sea and hills. Despite the tranquility, it is amazingly close to Golspie and has brilliant walks straight from the door allowing you to be car free. The midges could be a real pest- so take big spray! The interior of the cabin is homely and relaxing and you feel as if you are truly in the middle of nowhere. The kids loved playing in and exploring the woodland. A fantastic, relaxing holiday was had by all. We did lots of amazing walks and were lucky with the weather. Thank you Log Cabin and hope to be back soon.

This well-loved, snug, cosy property is in an ideal location. It feels isolated and has a great view but within walking distance there is a magnificent burn and waterfall walk which takes you to Golspie which is on the coast! Dunrobin castle and the Loch Fleet nature reserve are also only a 5/10 minute drive so there is everything you could wish for immediately to hand. The cabin is lovely and warm (despite the windows looking slightly past their best), and whilst there is admittedly more to do in areas such as Speyside, it also means it is much busier (although still far less busy than where we live in Colchester). For a 'getaway from it all' holiday this was a perfect 2 week holiday for me and my husband. I feel sure we shall return, thank you ' El Cabino'.

Good break and chance to relax in quiet surroundings.

A comfortable, clean, well-decorated and provisioned cabin in a beautiful setting. Also nice and warm on a week that had suddenly turned very chilly. Very easy to get out and about and explore the area.

We booked El Cabino because we wanted to get away from it all. There is a lovely view of the Firth through the trees and the Mannie statue on top of the hill and the cabin is surrounded by a lovely forest so that you feel like you truly are on your own. But Golspie is literally five minutes down the road and Durnoch Beach-which is a lovely beach, is half an hour away. It’s a lovely place if you want to explore the northern highlands and enjoy a long drive. We thoroughly enjoyed the log fire and the kids had a great time playing at the Den and swing. There are a number of walks in close proximity too. The cabin is comfortable and a tribute to the family that own it. We especially appreciated the welcome basket.

El Cabino was exactly as described and a brilliant getaway for the whole family - technology detox! Great woodland setting, very quiet and relaxing. Would definitely recommend and would love to return!

Fantastic cabin in a great location, beautiful walks right on the doorstep. The only downside is the cleanliness, it needs a really good deep clean. That aside, we all had a fantastic holiday and a well needed break from town life.

Great location for exploring the outdoors. Lodge was comfortable and warm. We enjoyed the coal/log fires after being outdoors all day. Great place for kids with the tippee and swing close to the Lodge. Thanks again for letting us stay. ☺

lovely place,nice nearby walks and town amenities .Private location and the cabin is comfortable and cosy.

Excellent time . Wonderful cabin and private woods not overlooked . North Highlands are stunning and every day was filled with fun activities for all the family. Biking and walking routes were well signposted and excellent and the castle in the village was as my daughter described a true fairy tale castle.

We had a relaxing short break in this very peaceful setting. We took full advantage of the numerous walks in the immediate area. Our dog also loved exploring the surrounding woods! The cabin was clean and well equipped and enjoys super views of both the sea and the hills. Unfortunately it was cold and damp for much of our stay but we were able to make good use of the coal fire! We appreciated the welcome basket of food. All in all a breath of fresh air!

We had a lovely few days stay at the cabin. The location is perfect. Peaceful with great views, and the woods were a treat for our children who we lost in them most days! The cabin is very cozy even in February, and we really enjoyed just taking some time to ourselves and relaxing. There is quite a bit to do locally however, and we managed a good few walks and adventures, too. Happily recommend the cabin, and the location, to those looking for a real get away, fresh air and peace.

Absolutely perfect, couldnt have wished for more!

With all the necessities minutes away in Golspie we were amazed at how remote the cabin felt. Just what we wanted. The posted walks are great for families and we found more beautiful scenery heading West. The cabin is well equipped and felt like home from the moment we arrived with the open fire giving a very cosy air. Loved all the games that don't need batteries and we really enjoyed setting our own pace. The owners' preparations made us feel most welcome. We all had a memorable break and will visit again .

We have had a wonderful time staying in the lovely log cabin just outside of Golspie. Walks are in abundance on the cabin's doorstep, Scotland in summer is beautiful and rugged. We have been extremely lucky with the weather and only a few occasions of midges. The log cabin is very well made, with all the amenities you want, amazing views and wildlife on your doorstep! Highly recommended as a great holiday base.

This was our second time at the log cabin, and we already know we'll be back again. As we've seen from the visitors' book everyone else seems to share our view of the peacefulness, homeliness, stunning setting, beautiful walks and great log fire. This time we had our 16-month old with us and she was fascinated by everything in the garden/forest, the local sheep and the waterfalls on the Big Burn walk, (don't miss this walk). Our highlights this time were: The falconry display and trophy museum at Dunrobin Castle, (is that really what aristocrats used to do!) Dornoch cathedral in the sunshine, seals basking on the sandbanks of Loch Fleet and the fact that there's no sound up there other than birds and sheep. Thanks also for the kind welcome basket of food - a lovely treat. We feel 100% more relaxed going back home. Mick, Wendy and Ruby

We stayed at the cabin for our third time in April this year. There is a magical feeling about this place which we as a family love and will return again sometime soon. We have recommended the cabin to friends and family.

What an amazing place set in an idyllic location, with plenty of beautiful walks and a great Golf course near by made this the perfect weekend away with friends.

Even wennen in het begin. Huisje was wat vochtig. Tuin is niet aangelegd, maar eigenlijk gewoon bos. Verwarming met electrische kachels, wat gelukkig wel hielp. Geen wifi, maar dat vond ik wel fijn. Daardoor meer tijd om met het gezin leuke dingen te doen. In de omgeving was een leuke wandeling te doen. En met de auto zijn verderop ook zeker mooie tochten te maken. Het weer was goed, dus al met al wel een paar fijne dagen in het huisje gehad.

Eine wirklich schöne und saubere Hütte in den Bergen von Golspie/Umgebung mit Blick aufs Meer. Sehr ruhige und und gute Lage, einfach zu erreichen. Auto sollte man allerdings haben. Wandern soweit das Auge reicht. Der echte Kamin rundet die wirklich gut ausgestattete Hütte ab. Es fehlte uns an nichts. Modernes Interior gemixt mit traditionellem. Hat uns sehr gut gefallen.
